"Let's face it -- you need a watch. Not a disposable Swatch, but a watch. A machine with a real mechanical movement that can be a lasting talisman of your style. It's gonna cost you, because this is for more than time and you won't be using a battery. It is for craft, precision, expression and permanent value. So instead of buying 20 dreary throwaway watches over the next few years, save up for one..."

"Oh I so love tokidoki! These latest rainboots look like part sneakers, part wellies, and oh so adorable with the extra ankle belt/buckle. If I had these, I'd be waiting for a rainy day. (Oh wait, that's not so hard in Seattle :P)"
Alessi x Seiko Luna Watch by Alessandro Medini
1 recommendation
"I love home accessories by Alessi, and Seiko has proven itself as a great quartz watch company, so, if you're picking a reasonably priced quartz watch with aesthetics in mind, the collaboration between Alessi and Seiko is a no brainer. Luna Watches are my favorite -- visually it's interesting as the center sinks a little bit, and the design is very, very clean."

Arco Floor Lamp

"A super italian lighting classic by the Castiglioni brothers in 1963. a marble base (with a hole in it) so that it can be easily moved by inserting a broom handle through it and lifted by two people.
